How to organise, run and host a successful film premiere: Top 21 Tips
http://vimeo.com/88655040%20I have made many films and every one of them has had an ‘event’ premiere. I highly recommend you do the same for your film too. And yes, we are doing one for The Impact on May 31st. Anyone can come and it will be an amazing night. Tickets HERE. So I suggest you say

Impact50: Which Poster Mock Up Do You Prefer?
So it’s time to cast your vote for the final poster designs that will go outside cinemas whe the film is screened (and also given to everyone at the premiere). We have a couple of finalist mock ups for you to consider. I stress these are mock ups as we are really just honing in

Grading The Impact… using DaVinci Resolve
Last week we began the final grade for The Impact. This is where we adjust colours, contrast and even add subtle visual effects like shadows or flares, to polish the look of all the films. Aside from the obvious creative element we can address, the grading also helps make the films all look like they

Impact50 Update… The End Is In Sight
So, it’s been a long time. We had an actual apocalypse. Who knew. First up, I want to assure you I am 100% committed to getting Impact50 completed. The reasons it has taken way longer than any of us ever expected are many and complex, but can really be boiled down to a few simple

Taking The Impact out of Life’s A Beach by Mark Hampton
Every film made for a Create50 has two potential lives. First and foremost, each film takes its place in the final Create50 film, making its way to a big screen alongside the work of other filmmakers in a celebration of creative collaboration. The second life is as a standalone film, allowing the filmmakers to send

Forgive Me by Ben Marshall, produced by Team Salvador Dalek
We are a small group of film makers, creating low/no-budget shorts in our spare time. Our core team (of Kevin, Patricia & Matthew) met while working on a low budget scifi feature film in NZ several years ago. Working together we have made 3 shorts so far, bringing in other cast & crew that

SECOND EDIT… ‘The Survivalist’ by Oakhaven Films
‘The Survivalist’ was a collaboration between The Glitch Collective (‘Mariana 627’, ‘What’s Wrong With Morris?’), Period 8 Pictures (‘A Beautiful Death’, ‘Too Many Cooks’) and the newly-established Oakhaven Films, members of each having worked together on previous projects. Oakhaven was the fictional company for which the main character of our sci-fi short ‘Mariana 627’ worked,

Where Are You? By Infinity Room Films
In January 2019 I became aware of Impact 50 and its impending deadline. Inspired by the story and concept, I resolved to write a script. It seemed a great opportunity to challenge my writing skills, get feedback and fingers crossed, someone would want to make my script into a film. What did I have to

‘Blood Sweat and Tears’ by Gingersnap Productions FINE CUT
Producer and writer Stephanie Ginger who divides her time between the Algarve and the UK, formed Gingersnap Productions specifically to make one of her own scripts Blood Sweat and Tears for Phase Two of the Impact50 incentive. Recognising the potential of re-creating Africa in Portugal, she enlisted the help of director Kristjan Knigge and retired

‘First Time’ by Grindstone Films
With the end of the world imminent, Danny has only a short time to “do it” ..for the first time. I found the concept of the end of the world very depressing, so wrote something that I thought would add a bit of fun. I was registered to go to Cannes, but in the end

Making Last Push Till We Meet Again by Tasbir Malle
It was going to be the biggest rule breaker! I had loved the idea of the Impact story when it first launched and even wrote a script. But it was only a couple of months ago catching up with friends and their projects that I realized the competition was open again. I started watching the

‘Prime Meridian’ by Inigo Productions
After the massive boost provided by Talent Campus 6.0, Helen wrote the script and submitted it to the Impact50 project. At the same time, she got involved with the contribution ‘Where Are You?’, collaboratively developed by the Ravenclaw group from TC6 (mentored by Lucy V. Hay). With just a few weeks to go before the
